Here's where any new characters can be introduced and you guys from the Godsmouth game can re-spec your characters and we can discuss any rules for the campaign. In addition to tuning your PCs as you see fit, you may also discuss how you're spending the coin from the previous adventure and which two traits you plan on taking. I have some recommendations from the Shattered Star guide, but I also don't want to step on any toes. Also, I don't feel like the traits necessarily indicate a strong connection to the campaign as much as they indicate a connection to Magnimar- so you can opt out of the campaign traits if you so choose.

I'm totally open for suggestions if you've got any for Kua.
Also, the player's guide puts a lot of emphasis on the Pathfinder society, should we make any adjustment for that or will that stuff be worked out in game?

For Kua I would say the Serpent Runner trait and one of the bonuses it comes with would be a good choice and we can just rename it "Duskwarden Training" or something of that nature. Or Non-Traditional Native (Shoanti).

Yang would be a good fit for the Exchange Agent I think.

Auron might fit well with Ruin Raider, since he has the most material bent of the group so far.

For Sister Mara it's a little harder to figure the most useful trait; Ex-Sczarni may offer some interesting possibilities and Non-traditional native sounds like it would fit but I don't think she'd get much use from the bladed scarf or starknife bonuses.

I was one of the players in James' Tatters of the King pbp (Hey Jam!) and he invited me to submit a character for the Shattered Star game. I'm thinking of a cleric of some sort, based out of Magnimar. I'll get to work on putting him together tonight.

If anyone has any suggestions, they're always welcome. I've got a bunch of ideas but nothing nailed down as yet.

I may rework Yang a bit. Having divination as an opposition school has been a bit more limiting than I thought it would be. I'll also be using some of our gold from the previous adventure to flesh out the ol' spellbook a bit.

Hey Wander Weir, great to have you along! I'm sure a whatever sort of cleric you make will be a great fit. James has warned us though that this adventure will be mostly dungeon crawl, so you may want to keep that in mind.

As far as Kua goes, I had been considering going full ranger with two weapon fighting and working toward Thunder and Fang. However, I didn't realize just how feat intensive the prerequisites were. I wouldn't be able to use it until 5th level! In PBP terms, that's like.. years.

Yeah, the previous ones back to Carrion Crown or so were a bit more fleshed out and I feel like the traits have less of a connection than in other campaigns. For instance, Carrion Crown had the various ways you met the professor, Serpent's Skull had the ports where you got on the ship, Curse of the Crimson Throne the various reasons you wanted what's-his-name dead, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help out.

Ha! Yeah, I couldn't get it as high as I'd originally intended but it's still pretty decent. If James isn't fond of me using the Dwarf companion book (all of which I got out of the SRD) I'll just rebuild Oren as a human cleric of Sarenrae and then his Charisma will be higher too.

I'm honestly happy either way, I just thought it'd be fun to play a cleric of a lesser-known god.

I play a human cleric of Sarenrae in an Age of Worms PbP. The Glory domain has proven to be quite useful, both for the Touch of Glory boost to Charisma-based skill checks (particularly Diplomacy!) as well as for the +2 boost to the DC for undead to resist your channeled energy (it's like getting the Improved Channel feat for free).

James, any problem if I rework Yang as a tranmuter instead of an evocation specialist? I think it fits his obsession with finding the link between the body and magic better. (And he's going to "minor" in necomancy ...)

It looks like Shifty (also a Tatters of the King alum) will be joining in as well. Question: are you guys okay with him bringing in a tiefling fighter or ranger? Tieflings are a bit more powerful than a typical core race (and yet they don't seem so much more powerful they would require a level penalty) so I want to get it cleared with you all first.

* Equipment - because I have been 'caught short' before, I was considering a Silversheen weapon, however they are $$$'s, I am hoping that something dr/silver comes into play. If I am horribly wasting my money, please say so :) (ie no creatures requiring silver like, anywhere)

Hey Shifty, welcome aboard! James allowed us the option of either rolling for HP or taking half at second level.

James, since we seem to be pretty melee heavy, would you mind if I tweaked Kua to archery based? He was going to be spending his hard earned gold on a bow anyway. He wasn't happy when Tripe was nailing him with those flasks from out of reach.. Anyway, it wouldn't be a huge change. Just a feat swap or two.

That's fine by me.

No rush, Wander Weir.

Also just dropped Randall a PM to make sure he saw the discussion thread and we'll see if he has any changes to Auron.

Thanks for the pm. Great to have the old crew back. I'll take a look at Auron and Jhaik soon and would be thinking to change the feats and traits a little. Auron did not use combat expertise too much in the Gods mouth.

Auron would play a materialistic bent as suggested, just need to lookup at the guide first.

I'd be just as happy with RAW if thats all the same, but as the newcomer I'll take what I'm given :)

I really shouldn't, but hey I will! I think I'll blow most of my starting money on a Silversheen (material) weapon. OK its basically a shockingly overpriced M/work, but hey when one cannot afford Mithril...

notionally its the 'Hellion' fight costume, stuff worn by itself or in conjunction with her armour. I googles 'Female Wrestler WWE', but then I realised there was so little in those costumes youd be lucky to end up with 3sp of materials.
